Abstract
Pump function of the heart can be quantified. A number of quantities, determined in the intact dog heart but derived from the length-tension and force-velocity relationships found in isolated muscle, are evaluated as descriptive of cardiac pump function, but some of the variables derived do not give a quantitative description of the heart as a pump. Better correlation might be possible if the isolated heart muscle was studied as if it were part of the ventricular wall.This publication has 30 references indexed in Scilit:
